[QUOTE="MacGuyver, post: 456683, member: 18877"] This fits my assumptions as well. The fact that switching the two lights led to the same effect implies to me that nothing odd is going on. I've contemplated rear LEDs, but never did it because I want that hyperflash if something fails. (It's by design to indicate a blown bulb if you were unaware) I have LED fog lights as well that came with my headlights. Both sets have halos with the headlights able to integrate into the blinkers. The whole set of 4 cost me around $100. The electrical waveform feedback from the Fog Halos was so bad that if I turned them on, I would loose radio reception... and I hate satellite radio. So that part of my new lights got unplugged. I was going to use them as DRLs, now they are just dormant. LEDs are not the same as standard bulbs, and do strange things when plugged into a machine not designed for them. I can only imagine that the $400 and up ones from the big companies take that stuff into account. With the cheap ones you are just rolling the dice. Hell, I had to re-arrange the wires for my headlights because two of them were in the incorrect socket. [/QUOTE]
